The Carlsvadian Kingdom of Klemantan-Borneo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Martin von Cartenberg-Utreck with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 22.559 billion Carlsvadians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Griemaldi. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Carlsvadian economy, worth a remarkable 4,886 trillion Carlsvadian Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 216,619 Carlsvadian Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, and Klemantan-Borneo's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Klemantan-Borneo's national animal is the Bluefin Tuna, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Klemantan-Borneo is ranked 26,742nd in the world and 326th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
